ASHA seeks repeal of MPPR

2026-03-20 · Medicare Part B and other payers · Advocacy request; not repeal

ASHA and therapy organizations urged Congress to end multiple procedure payment reductions. Medicare’s reduction applies to practice expense on subsequent therapy services, while other payers may implement different reductions.

Practice or reimbursement impact: Model same-day reimbursement using the exact payer’s policy rather than assuming full payment for each new code.

Status and date context: A repeal request does not establish that MPPR ended.
